A humanistic societal operating system

The Next Economy

A living manifesto for organizing business around flourishing, written by the people already doing it.

What it is

The Next Economy is a shared, evolving body of work about a simple question. What changes when an economy is organized around flourishing rather than extraction. It is not a book by one author. It is a collective effort by practitioners, consultants, and organizations who already run their work this way and are putting what they know into one place.

The three dimensions

The work is organized in three dimensions, each developed openly in the wiki.

01Philosophy

The ideas and theory beneath the movement. Why flourishing is a serious economic aim and what it asks us to rethink.

02Mission

The transformation the work is trying to drive, and what it would mean for how organizations are led and how decisions get made.

03Playbook

The practical patterns practitioners can apply, drawn from real work inside real organizations.
